TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to an automatic non-woven fabric laying device, belonging to the field of packaging machinery.

BACKGROUND ART

Hubs need to be transferred, carried, stacked and the like in the hub production, machining and packaging process, which is mostly manually completed by operators. Laying non-woven fabrics can keep hubs clean and avoid collision of the hubs.

When hubs are stacked, operators need to lay non-woven fabrics on the bottom surface of each layer of hubs, measure the size of the required non-woven fabrics during laying, and then manually discharge them; because a large quantity of non-woven fabrics need to be laid and the action is single, the operators engaged in such work for a long term are easily weary in body and mind; thus, the operators often forget to lay non-woven fabrics, and hub collision caused by misoperation of the operators is increasing, thereby increasing rejects in the product stacking process and seriously influencing the economic benefits of enterprises.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are mounted on the lead screw A, and can move axially on the lead screw A, thereby completing traction and clamping on non-woven fabrics having different widths.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the traction manipulator A and the traction manipulator B are provided with linear displacement sensors, and can be positioned and move in the vertical direction via detection data of the displacement sensors.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the cutting manipulator is mounted on the lead screw B, and can move axially along the lead screw B to cut the non-woven fabric; and the lead screw B is fixed at the top of the support.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the cutting manipulator is provided with a linear displacement sensor, and can be positioned and move in the vertical direction via detection data of the displacement sensor.

According to the model of a wheel, key parameters such as width and diameter of a hub can be automatically generated, and the laying length of the non-woven fabric can be automatically calculated.

The double guide rollers are adopted to guarantee enough traction on the non-woven fabric, and simultaneously achieve a guiding effect on the non-woven fabric. The cutting manipulator is adopted automatically cut the non-woven fabric. The articulated guide plates are adopted to keep the non-woven fabric on a drooping guide plane, achieve the effect of guiding and supporting the non-woven fabric, and facilitating positioning and clamping of the manipulators. The traction manipulators reciprocate at the top of the support to realize laying and pulling the non-woven fabric.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 mounted on one side of the support 1 is used for mounting and lifting a non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 is connected with the support 1 by a linear bearing and a linear guide rail, and simultaneously provided with a linear displacement sensor for detecting the required lifting height.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are used for laying and pulling the non-woven fabric, and the displacements of the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are automatically calculated according to the model of a hub, so that the non-woven fabric meets the requirement for the laying length.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are mounted on the lead screw A 11, and can move axially on the lead screw A 11, thereby completing traction and clamping on non-woven fabrics having different widths.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 are provided with linear displacement sensors, and can be positioned and move in the vertical direction via detection data of the displacement sensors.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the guide roller A 6 and the guide roller B 8 realize automatic extension of the non-woven fabric, and achieve the effect of increasing the traction on the non-woven fabric.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the guide plate A 2, the guide plate B 7, the guide plate C 12 and the guide plate D 13 support the non-woven fabric; the guide plate A 2 is articulated with the guide plate B 7, and the guide plate C 12 is articulated with the guide plate D 13, thereby ensuring the non-woven fabric has a drooping guide plane, and ensuring the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 successfully clamp the non-woven fabric.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the cutting manipulator 4 is mounted on the lead screw B 14, and can move axially along the lead screw B 14 to cut the non-woven fabric; and the lead screw B 14 is fixed at the top of the support 1.

In a preferred aspect of the present application, the cutting manipulator 4 is provided with a linear displacement sensor, and can be positioned and move in the vertical direction via detection data of the displacement sensor.

The non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 automatically calculates the width of a hub according to the model of the hub via wheel model parameters in an automatic control system, and automatically implements a height lifting action; and after the data of the linear displacement sensor is fed back to the control system, the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 automatically stops at the required laying height.

Before the non-woven fabric laying device runs, the non-woven fabric is manually pulled through the guide roller A 6, the guide roller B 8, the guide roller C 9, and pulled to the guide plate B 7 and the guide plate D13; then after the non-woven fabric lifting mechanism 5 reaches the lifting height, the traction manipulator A 3 and the traction manipulator B 10 run to the positions nearby the guide plate B 7 and the guide plate D 13, the guide roller A 6 and the guide roller B 8 begin acting at the moment to convey the non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric advances under the cooperation of the guide roller C 9, the guide plate B 7 and the guide plate D13.
